Obama amputates our nuclear arms

By: Charles Krauthammer

...snippet...

Under President Obama’s new policy, however, if the state that has just attacked us with biological or chemical weapons is “in compliance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty,” explained Gates, then “the U.S. pledges not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against it.”

Imagine the scenario: Hundreds of thousands are lying dead in the streets of Boston after a massive anthrax or nerve gas attack. The president immediately calls in the lawyers to determine whether the attacking state is in compliance with the NPT. If it turns out that the attacker is up-to-date with its latest IAEA inspections, well, it gets immunity from nuclear retaliation. (Our response is then restricted to bullets, bombs and other conventional munitions.)

However, if the lawyers tell the president that the attacking state is NPT noncompliant, we are free to blow the bastards to nuclear kingdom come.

This is quite insane. It’s like saying that if a terrorist deliberately uses his car to mow down a hundred people waiting at a bus stop, the decision as to whether he gets hanged or 100 hours of community service hinges entirely on whether his car had passed emissions inspections.

Apart from being morally bizarre, the Obama policy is strategically loopy. Does anyone believe that North Korea or Iran will be more persuaded to abjure nuclear weapons because they could then carry out a biological or chemical attack on the United States without fear of nuclear retaliation?

The naivete is stunning.

What say you?

I wouldn't put it past Obama. . "The end justifies the means." It's going to be a real nail biter from now until November 6 just waiting to see what he might pull. . especially if Romney continues up in the polls. . . The idiots who voted him in are responsible for almost destroying our Sacred Republic. . . November 6 can't get here soon enough.

OBA-HUSSEIN-KHOMEINI WITHDREW PROTECTION AS PART OF A PLAN TO CREATE A 1979 TEHRAN HOSTAGE TYPE SITUATION THAT WOULD DISTRACT NOVEMBER VOTERS AND ALLOW HIM A PLATFORM TO BECOME A NATIONAL HERO

I concur. With this and more sinister scenarios as well.

Over time I have lost some good sources - in reality they were burned

have you noticed since Labor Day Weekend, the drying up of whistleblowers and insiders? Same thing on these shores...

I’ve been saying it smells like a wag the dog gone wrong.

[Flotsam_Jetsome]

Thanks for the Ping. NICE.

I think Benghazi was supposed to be a false flag. We were to supposed to stop it and zero would be a hero. It backfired. I also think it was the Mideast version of fast and furious.

[ThanhPhero]

That can’t be too far-fetched. It occurred to me immediately when I read that there was no protection in place.

[TheConservativeParty]

That was a great link.
I didn’t know Mitt refused to be paid to be Gov. of Mass.
Many interesting facts at that site.

Mitt’s Saturday afternoon speech in Ohio was fantastic.
I heard shades of Reagan when he talked about the heart of America and the shining city on a hill.

[TheConservativeParty]

That theory sounds totally plausible.

Excerpted from comment # 3,911:

Perhaps it is a jaundiced view of the extent of Obama’s treachery BUT MY ANALYSIS OF THE EVENTS IS THAT OBA-HUSSEIN-KHOMEINI WITHDREW PROTECTION AS PART OF A PLAN TO CREATE A 1979 TEHRAN HOSTAGE TYPE SITUATION THAT WOULD DISTRACT NOVEMBER VOTERS AND ALLOW HIM A PLATFORM TO BECOME A NATIONAL HERO - but it went wrong when his intended hostages were killed - cutting short the nefarious self-serving strategy.

Thanks, FARS.

However, his muslim brotherhood buddies may provide him the opportunity to send in a SEAL team so that he may claim victory over the bad guys again and crown him hero and savior of the American people. I figure it will happen a week before E day.

The very high tech pilotless UAV reportedly brought down and captured by Iran was a PRE-PLANNED GIFT from Obama to the Mullahs to update Iran’s ability to penetrate Israel stealthily.

The capture - intact - looked strange. But how could a give away be kept secret? How many people would have to be involved?

Tell more - who exactly was the intended hostage or hostages?

[American Constitutionalist]

agreed.

[fanfan]

Absolutely believable.

[Hotlanta Mike]

Applying the same principals of Fast & Furious...

Plausible and likely...but as everything the Won touches, it turns to merd...
